Why

whispering softly as time slips away looking for meaning a reason to stay lost in a memory torn by a dream wishing tomorrow was all that you deem finding no answers within empty thought taking and giving and living distraught never a question without rationale no simple expression while living in hell written 10.22.2016

Logic is not enough: feelings or voice of heart must add to reason both hope and will to change what can be changed. Impressive poem good for meditation.
